2013: October wrap-up

Finally a day free of reviews or interviews, so this wrap-up can have your full attention!

October was quite a month on the reading and blogging fronts, as you may have noticed if you follow me.

Here is what happened…

My October reading totaled 10 books, with 2269 pages, that is, 73.1 pages/day.Among those 10 were 3 audiobooks, [thanks to a lot of painting for an exhibit]: 40:35 hours as a whole, that is, an average of 1:18 hour/day.

I’m working hard on my reviews, and my blog as a whole, thanks to a new work schedule.
